Joanna walked 3,000 steps in 24 hours yesterday. How many steps did she walk in 10 hours?

Answer 1

To find out how many steps Joanna walked in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion.

Let x be the number of steps Joanna walked in 10 hours.

We know that steps/time = steps/time

So, we can set up the following equation:

3000 steps / 24 hours = x steps / 10 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

24 * x = 3000 * 10

24x = 30000

Dividing both sides by 24:

x = 30000 / 24

x ≈ 1250

Therefore, Joanna walked approximately 1250 steps in 10 hours.
